Minor League Baseball Remains a Budget-Friendly Entertainment Option

Family of four can attend a game for an average of less than $65

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida — Minor League Baseball announced today that attending one of its games is, yet again, one of the most
economical forms of family entertainment available. The average cost for a family of four to enjoy a Minor League Baseball game this
season is only $64.97; a price that includes parking, two adult tickets, two child tickets, four hot dogs, two sodas and two beers.

The average cost for two adults to attend a game at one of the 160 ballparks in the 14 domestic-based leagues that charge admission
ranges from $33-$37, depending on the fans’ choice of beverages.

The ticket prices are based on the most economical fixed seat in a stadium, although a majority of the clubs have discounted, free or
special ticket prices for children under a certain age, senior citizens and/or military personnel. Berm seating, concessions specials and
other deals available through clubs’ social media platforms also save fans money and contribute to making the cost of attending a
Minor League Baseball game one of the best budget-friendly options among all professional sports leagues.

“Minor League Baseball has long strived to be a budget-friendly source of family entertainment, providing fun promotions and a quality
product on the field,” said Minor League Baseball President and CEO Pat O’Conner. “We take great pride in knowing that over 42.5
million fans chose Minor League Baseball to help create lifelong memories with family and friends.”

I'll definitely take a minor league game over any other any day of the week. I get a kids club membership for my youngest, and that gets him in free to every Sunday game, a free meal, and to other special events. The theme nights at the MiLB games are the best, also!
